Elisse Joson, McCoy de Leon, and their baby Felize began the new year with a new family milestone: taking their first family beach trip!
On Jan. 4, 2022, Elisse uploaded a vlog sharing her family's recent trip to Pangasinan where they got to spend bonding time by the beach. It's also Felize's first time dipping in the saltwater so, it's really a trip worth documenting!
But while her parents are excited about the trip, Felize seemed like she's not a fan of the beach, at least not yet. She cried as soon as her mom took her to the shore where she got a feel of the waves. Awwee. There, there baby Felize!
McCoy, however, is determined to make her daughter enjoy their future beach trips. He shares, "takot siya (Felize) sa water pero gusto naming masanay siya kasi mahilig mag-beach si mommy and daddy."
Felize is not totally opposed to water. While she doesn't enjoy the ocean waves yet, she's more comfortable playing in the pool for now.
